Simply adding caps did not worked for me, while it did adding

Hi there!

Hellekin, the patch you have sent is referring to another bug, see:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444103#15

BTW, please always check if you need to Cc: other people interested in
the bug (you did not Cc: me, so I was not aware of your replies).

 This is the real problem.

 Please note that until now ssh-agent is *never* started if gpg-agent has
 been started at least once with SSH support, for the following reasons
 (and this is another bug, no matter what):
 
 1) 90gpg-agent is sourced before 90x11-common_ssh-agent
 2) gpg-agent does not remove its PID file when exiting, see #642021

 Sounds like that should be fixed.

 Patch sent upstream and block added.

   
 http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=1316457193-26043-1-git-send-email-luca%40pca.it
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;bug=642021

Upstream's opinion is that the PID file must not be removed:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642021#33

 3) 90gpg-agent sources the PID file above, which means that
SSH_AUTH_SOCK is defined *before* any gpg-agent is started at all

 Shouldn't the if ! $GPGAGENT 2/dev/null; then line in 90gpg-agent be
 followed by unsetting the variables (and maybe removing the file) it
 just read since it found out they don't work?

 Good catch, I will follow-up on the other bug report.  However,
 unsetting (at least) the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable is not correct, because
 it could be defined in ~/.Xsessionrc.

According to its manpage, it is ssh-agent that sets this variable, so
any value in ~/.Xsessionrc (sourced by 40x11-common_xsessionrc, so
before any 90*agent) should be simply ignored:

  A UNIX-domain socket is created and the name of this socket is
  stored in the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.  The socket is
  made accessible only to the current user.  This method is easily
  abused by root or another instance of the same user.

However, given upstream's opinion on the PID file not to be removed, I
would simply unset the variables.  This at least to be sure that
variables from dead gpg-agent processes will not influence the current
login.

 4) 90x11-common_ssh-agent starts ssh-agent only if SSH_AUTH_SOCK is
empty, which is not the case as per point 3
 [...]
 IMHO the real bug is to try to start ssh-agent in a system-wide fashion
 via /etc/X11/Xsession.options, while this is (clearly) a user option.
 This is also why I fear the new Xsession use-gpg-agent option at
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412993#20.  The fact
 that ssh_config does not have any way to define that we want the agent
 is probably the original cause of this bug.
 
 Can we switch the order so that 1) doesn't apply?  And turn ssh-agent
 into a no-op when it's started by gpg-agent with ssh support (assuming
 it's not already)?

 I still fail to see your solution: when both Xsession scripts do their
 checks there is no agent running at all, so reverting the order should
 not change anything.  Again, how do you know that gpg-agent will be
 started with SSH support?

The key is SSH_AUTH_SOCK, which should be *anyway* set is gpg-agent
should be started with the SSH support, which is covered by:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444103#15

 Finally, may I ask why this file is not provided by openssh-client?  I
 could not find any reference in the x11-common changelog.Debian nor
 x11-common Recommends:/Suggests:/Enhances: openssh-client.
 
 The changelog suggests this was already in xfree86-common with the
 initial xfree86 4.0 upload 11 years ago.  I could go look for earlier
 changelogs, but I guess hysterical raisins pretty much covers it?

 I came to the same conclusion.  However, I still think openssh-client
 would be a better place, because until now ssh-agent is started
 unconditionally without asking the user (and FWIW not event the
 sysadmin).  The fact that there is no way to have ssh-agent configured
 through a user variable changes the whole situations, so I will not
 bother any more with this.

 Attached a Git patch to add the Enhances: above, including dbus-x11 for
 the very same reason.

The last sentence is independent of the gpg-agent stuff, can it be
included anyway?

 According to upstream this is a known issue and due to the software

 hardware acceleration.

Until this week-end Mesa updates (see below), it seemed that there was
another way: installing libgl1-mesa-swx11 solved the problem for two
up-to-date sid, a schroot and the libvirt/KVM above.  However, in the
latter case GNOME 3 always crashes and I can not login (this should be
confirmed on a real machine, i.e. not on a VM).  So the situation was
the following:

1) libgl1-mesa-glx alone
   = empathy segfault

2) libgl1-mesa-glx *AND* libgl1-mesa-dri *AND* HW acceleration
   = empathy works

3) libgl1-mesa-swx11 (with or without libgl1-mesa-dri)
   = empathy works, but GNOME 3 crashes 

libclutter-1.0 already Depends: on 'libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1' and this
includes also libgl1-mesa-swx11 (which Provides: libgl1).  What it could
be needed is a Depends: on 'libgl1-mesa-dri | libgl1-mesa-swx11':

 The long term solution is to switch to llvmpipe in debian to make it
 work for people that cannot get hardware acceleration. I think that the
 next release of mesa has switch to this.

It seems that upstream Mesa already solved this in a different way:

  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26686
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747276#c18

The upstream fix went into the new Mesa package during the week-end (I
was building the old 7.11-6 plus this patch, but given that the build
process needed more than 5 GB of disk space I could not get it earlier):

  
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-xorg/lib/mesa.git;a=commitdiff;h=b2fbf8225bfed2d6f5339ba0a97ddbc5e6cc491a
  http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mesa/news/2028T002111Z.html

Nevertheless, empathy still segfaults witwh libgl1-mesa-glx_7.11.1-1
alone (i.e. without libgl1-mesa-dri) on both sid above, the schroot and
the libvirt/KVM.  However, the error on the latter is a bit more
explicative:

Installing libgl1-mesa-dri solves the problem, which is anyway a
progress, given that before it did not work at all on libvirt/KVM with
no HW acceleration (see point 2 above).

Hi there!

As the title suggests, if you install both openssh-client and
gnupg-agent and you enable the SSH support in the latter, ssh-agent is
anyway started by the Xsession script:

Indeed the check for $SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not enough: this variable is not

 NAK, as far as I'm concerned this script has no business looking around
 in gpg.conf.

This leaves the bug opened: I would be glad to explore other solutions,
but AFAIK without checking gpg.conf and gpg-agent.conf there is no way
to know *beforehand* 1) if gpg-agent will run and 2) if the latter will
provide SSH support.

Please note that until now ssh-agent is *never* started if gpg-agent has
been started at least once with SSH support, for the following reasons
(and this is another bug, no matter what):

1) 90gpg-agent is sourced before 90x11-common_ssh-agent
2) gpg-agent does not remove its PID file when exiting, see #642021
3) 90gpg-agent sources the PID file above, which means that

4) 90x11-common_ssh-agent starts ssh-agent only if SSH_AUTH_SOCK is

Here is the patch to test the behavior above:

This is also why I fear the new Xsession use-gpg-agent option at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412993#20.  The fact
that ssh_config does not have any way to define that we want the agent
is probably the original cause of this bug.

Finally, may I ask why this file is not provided by openssh-client?  I
could not find any reference in the x11-common changelog.Debian nor
x11-common Recommends:/Suggests:/Enhances: openssh-client.

 did work in the past.  Sorry if you got it twice.]

Hi there!

Reopening this bug, setting myself as submitter, adding the current
version of x11-xserver-utils in unstable and setting Severity:
important, for obvious reasons.

On Sun, 10 Apr 2011 03:40:40 +0200, Cyril Brulebois wrote:
 jida...@jidanni.org jida...@jidanni.org (10/04/2011):
 Nobody can figure out how to do it because there are no examples on
 the setxkbmap man page.

 I wrote it's an option. So you use:
   setxkbmap -option $whatiwrote

 and that works.

That does not mean that it is easy to find it out, and I was in the same
situation as jidanni, here why.

I wanted to map Caps_Lock as Control_L, so I fired up `man xmodmap` and
found an example (then discovering a bug, see #641588), but I was too
much optimistic.  Having found this bug I thought that something like

  $ setxkbmap -option caps:ctrl

would have been correct.  Finally, /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
told me that what I wanted was the following command, which is
counterintuitive to say the least:

  $ setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps

 CB And stop using xmodmap, that's obsolete.
 
 Well why don't you put a warning on its man page. Else how is
 anybody supposed to know?

 Well, nobody bothered to send a patch. Feel free to.

Nothing wrong with you, but I hope you are kidding, especially for the
obsolete part.

1) it seems that xmodmap is still developed:

 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xmodmap/

2) why is CapsLock the only key that stopped working with xmodmap, while
   for the other everything is OK?  Until today I was using myself with
   success the following ~/.xmodmaprc:

--8---cut here---start-8---
!! unset Caps_Lock and Win_key
remove lock = Caps_Lock
remove mod4 = Super_L
! Caps Lock as Win key
keycode 66 = Super_L
add mod4 = Super_L
--8---cut here---end---8---

I completely understand John's feelings, xmodmap is a default/old Unix
tool, why breaking it?  What are the advantages of the latter?

Bug#624146: xserver-xorg-video-intel: [SandyBridge] Totem crahses X.Org and then Failed to allocate framebuffer

2011-04-25 Thread Luca Capello
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.13.0-6
Severity: important

Hi there!

Well, the subject says all.

I tried to play a DivX video in Totem (simply double-clicking on it from
Nautilus), then I left before the video started and when I came back the
screen was flickering between two previous console states [1].

[1] I am experiencing some libata errors linked to a tape drive, so
there are plenty of error messages on the console
  https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages

Restarting GDM3 caused me to discover the error in the X.Org log [2][3],
and I am sorry I did not check it before, so I do not really what was
the cause of Totem crashing.

[3] why do I have 4 different of them?
[4] why is GDM3 never picking up VT 7?

Please note that this is the first time my parents' computer has had
such an error: today I installed the 2.6.38 kernel from wheezy (no other
backport available) and the network card (8086:1503, Intel 82579V rev
04) needed at least 2.6.37.  This action was done to check if the libata
error above was still there (which is, FWIW).

Given that the machine in question is doing some wiping as another user
(luckily on a GNU screen session), I will not stop it for the next 12
hours, in case there is need for some tests.

FYI, while now all the 8GB of RAM are full, I also tried when only 5GB
of them were occupied, but with no luck.

I found this problem yesterday morning, but then I waited until today to
be sure it was not a problem of mirror syncing (cdn.debian.net -

Basically, upgrading to the latest version in sid does not work:

 Yes. Drivers are missing due to:

 There was one at some point, but the desktop environment people didn't
 seem to like that, so I removed it.  I won't add it unless it's
 requested by gnome/xfce/kde people.

E17 menu considers .desktop files in /u/s/applications, which means that
if xterm does not provide such a file, it is not possible to start it
From the menu.  This is even more important when using the Illume
profile on the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner.

A simple .desktop file based on the one I found on the Ubuntu BTS:

There are three open questions...

1) The file above is for the xterm binary only, while the xterm package
   provide 4 terminal emulators: I am not sure we need a .desktop file
   for all of them, but I consider lxterm the necessary one, since it
   consider the user locale.

2) According to the latest freedesktop.org menu specification v1.1

 http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.1.html

   TerminalEmulator applications should be part of the System main
   category, thus I quickly checked other main terminal emulators:

   - gnome-terminal is in Utility
   - konsole is in System
   - xfce4-terminal is in both System and Utility

3) I am not sure if the value of StartupNotify is correct, according to
   the latest freedesktop.org desktop entry specification v1.1

* License : multiple, mostly XFree86 (full texts below)
  Description : X.Org X server -- SMedia Glamo display driver
 This package provides the driver for the SMedia Glamo 3362 chipset,
 mostly found on the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner (GTA02).
 .
 More information about X.Org can be found at:
 URL:http://www.X.org

 .
 This package is built from the X.Org xf86-video-glamo driver module.
=

NB, I cc:ed a lot of lists: please refrain to discuss non-Debian issues
on all of them.  Except for general issues, pkg-fso-maint@ is the most
relevant one, which should always be cc:ed, TIA.

This driver is based on the XFree86 fbdev driver, then adapted to the
SMedia Glamo chipset, more information are available at

  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Smedia_Glamo_3362

In my plan, this supersedes the Xglamo kdrive X11 server, which AFAIK is
not update anymore, ATM available in the pkg-fso repository at

  http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org

The xserver-xorg-video-glamo package as well will be maintained under
the pkg-fso umbrella, but I would like to work as close as possible with
the X Strike Force, to be sure the package conforms their standards.  If
the X Strike Force would like to take care of the package, I would more
than glad to offer it to them...


In src/glamo-driver.c, GLAMO_VERSION is set to 1000: however, this
driver has not seen any public release yet, thus my intent to use the
date of the last Git commit plus the first 8 letters of the Git commit
itself as upstream version.

I do not remember why I have installed the X.Org fbdev, but simply
removing it (version 1:0.4.0-2 from experimental) lets X starts.

I am not completely sure the severity is correct, but from what I
understood X tries to use every driver is installed, which does not
sound correct to me.

BTW1, in the information below, I substituted the Xorg.0.log with the
  one coming from the non-starting X

BTW2, why does X consider not having a config file an non-fatal error?
  Should not that be a warning instead?

 I think that it could be helpful not only for Xglamo, but for the

 xserver-xfbdev).

A small update, which completely changes the importance of this bug:
according to [1], Openmoko seems to consider Xglamo completely dead now
in favor of a pure X.Org module.

If the above will become official, my request will become a very minor
one, since I will stop working on the Xglamo kdriver server ASAP.

 I suspect DDC is just screwed up in the r128 driver, so X can't get the

 your case :/

On etch X.Org was OK without touching anything...

Bug#502120: xserver-xorg: allows different /etc/X11/X symlinks as well as /usr/bin/X

2008-10-13 Thread Luca Capello
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.3+18
Severity: wishlist
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: package-installation

Hi there!

Please keep the Debian FSO Team [1] mailing list always Cc:ed.  If you
do so, no need to cc: me, I read the list.

I discovered these issues because of the Xglamo KDrive server [2].  The
problem is described also at [3].

Basically, AFAIK xinit/startx requires both /etc/X11/X and /usr/bin/X:
let's see both in details, at least as I understood the situation.
Since I'm not an X11 expert, feel free to point me at documentation I
need to read :-)

1) /etc/X11/X

   If I understood correctly, this symlink points to the X11 server you
   want to use.  Which means that if you install xserver-xfbdev and you
   want to use it with the xinit/startx infrastructure, you should
   change the /etc/X11/X symlink.

   ATM this symlink is created by xserver-xorg postinst (line 1816), but
   it points at /usr/bin/Xorg (shipped by xserver-xorg-core).  However,
   if I switch the symlink to /usr/bin/Xglamo (xserver-xglamo [2]),
   everything works fine.

   I see only two possibilities to manage /etc/X11/X: either through
   alternatives (like /usr/bin/x-window-manager) or with a debconf
   question (like for the Display Managers).

2) /usr/bin/X

   This is a real executable shipped by xserver-xorg.  I still need to
   understand why xinit/startx need both (/etc/X11/X and /usr/bin/X) and
   also why X.Org is divided into two (/usr/bin/X and /usr/bin/Xorg).
   FWIW, it seems that Xglamo works as expected with /usr/bin/X -
   Xglamo [4].

   If /usr/bin/X from xserver-xorg is *required* by every X11 server
   compiled from the X.Org sources, then please don't depend on
   xserver-xorg.  Otherwise, again, we need a way to manage /usr/bin/X
   (alternatives or debconf question).

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Hi Julien!

First of all, thank you for your fast and detailed reply.

 /usr/bin/X is a setuid wrapper, which does some basic permission checks
 and then exec()s /etc/X11/X.

Am I correct if I say that this is not X.Org specific, i.e. the wrapper
can be used with any X11 server?  In that case, Xglamo would like to use
the wrapper, too, which means that xserver-xorg should not depend on
xserver-xorg-core.  But this is another step forward :-)

 So /etc/X11/X should point to the actual X server you want to use when
 running /usr/bin/X.

This is what I did in the (still unofficial) xserver-xglamo package [1].
However, I'd prefer a cleaner solution before Xglamo enters Debian [2].

 There used to be some logic to change the /etc/X11/X symlink via debconf
 until about a year ago (it used to be needed when we had hardware
 specific X servers, which means before XFree86 4.0 iirc), so it might be
 possible to reintroduce that if you feel that Xglamo need it.

I think that it could be helpful not only for Xglamo, but for the other
KDrive servers as well (the first coming to my mind is xserver-xfbdev).

No, are you sure the sequence above is correct?

Anyway, I cloned the original bug, since we've two bugs (big fonts and

 Also after crash the display is not in the normal 480x640 mode which
 is also a bug.

I guess this is related to the crash above, thus I'd refrain to open
another bug until the above one is fixed.

 Yes, xrandr --dpi 75 does not change it anymore to 75x75.

I'm not really sure this is a bug, since I'm not at all a DPI expert.

BTW, do all these bugs also happens with FSO (or any other Openmoko
distribution) Xglamo?

 Can you take these bugs off the xorg package?  They were filed against a
 nonexistent package, then reassigned to xorg, and I don't know what's
 the appropriate package here.

Xglamo is the Openmoko kdrive server [1], maintained in Debian [2] by
the Debian FSO Team [3] and distributed in the unofficial team
repository [4].

Martin, please stop reassigning them and just leave them assigned to a
nonexistent package as for the other packages maintained by the Debian
FSO Team [5].  These packages are intended to be uploaded as soon as the
libraries dependencies will be satisfied.  That's why the Debian FSO
team decided to use the Debian infrastructure (including the BTS).

I'll reassigned them back to the xserver-xglamo package.

Thx, bye,

 This means that the value we obtain after the first xrandr command is
 correct.  However, I don't understand why it specifies 285 DPI.

 Because that's the (one and only) correct value for the display on the
 Neo GTA01 and GTA02.

Thank you for the information, I should have looked for it [1].

This means two things for Debian:

1) we must specify the DPI value even with xserver-xorg.  However, since
   this is something specific to the Neo GTA01 and GTA02, I need to
   discover how to specify it *without* touching any configuration file
   provided by other packages (/etc/X11/xserver/ looks promising).

2) Debian Xglamo doesn't correctly manage the DPI value and thus the

 I clearly gave it a filename, as the xrdb man page instructs, but
 instead it reports stdin. This causes _many hours_ of chasing down
 the source of errors when used in scripts!

 xrdb invokes cpp with your file as stdin. This first warning comes
 from cpp, that's why the warning talks about stdin, as opposed to
 other warnings that are issued by xrdb itself.

 As always, patches are welcome. Given how simple this program is, it
 would be a good programming exercise for anybody, even a newbie.

 Wildcards in Xt resources aren't supposed to do that (oddly enough).
 They replace whole leaf-names rather than parts of them.  The resource
 syntax is documented in the X manpage (at the moment I'm on Solaris,
 and know the the Linux manpage is named different...).  Here's the
 text, for reference:

Thank you for the explanation and I agree that it's oddly enough that
wildcards behave differently in Xt resources

 I usually do this a different way, setting
   $XAPPLRESDIR
 to my
   $HOME/app-defaults
 (and putting individual resource files there).

Again, thank you for the hint, but I don't have a lot of Xt resources
and I prefer to set them in one single file.

I haven't closed this bug yet because I don't really know how to
proceed: either we just close this bug as a not-a-bug or we leave this
bug opened as a wishlist, tagging it upstream, too.  In the latter
case, since I think it's quite difficult that Xt resources will be
changed to use 'common' wildcards, the bug is eligible for a wontfix
tag, too.

Thx, bye,

Bug#447519: xterm: [UXTerm] doesn't support *XTerm class in ~/.Xresources

 Basically, I'd like to define UXTerm resources in the *XTerm form
 (which is perfectly valid for xterm itself), in order to avoid
 resource duplications.  As I wrote, it seems that xterm supports
 *XTerm, while uxterm no.

 The uxterm script sets the class to UXTerm so that there are no
 conflicts in resource intent/interpretation between the two uses.

I'm aware of that and indeed this is a reason I started with I'm not
sure this is really a bug.

If the problem is not clear, here my second try: I usually quite
exclusively uxterm and thus I could specify UXTerm resources as
UXTerm.  However, sometime I start an xterm and, obviously, I don't
have my UXTerm settings.  Since resources specified as *XTerm are
correctly read by xterm, I assumed that '*' is a wildcard, which
stands for all, thus *XTerm means every class which ends in
XTerm.

If the latter is right, this should be the case for UXTerm, too.
Since it's not the case, this is a bug.  However, if I'm wrong, I'll
change the severity of this bug as 'wishlist' ;-)

Hello,

I'm sorry for the lag, I have quite forgot this bug because I disabled
splashy to avoid the locks.

After this mail, I'll add a note about the forward on that bug report.

 Seems to be related to the URL above. If you have any help to
 provide there, feel free to do so, nobody seem to be able to
 reproduce easily so far.

For the last 5h I haven't had any lock/X-reload yet (with splashy
enabled), so I think it's solved with one of the latest
xserver-xorg-video-intel versions.

 I'd say that the error happens during an heavy load on xterm, for
 example it happens during a dmesg invocation, also.

I can confirm that the problem seems to be related to xterm, at least
today it happened when moving down a large text file opened with
less.  The information in Xorg.0.log is similar to the one I provided
in my first mail.

A symptom which suggests me that it could be splashy related is the
fact that when shutting down after the error occurred, only the
splashy progress bar is shown and not the background image.  Instead,
I can see the normal console output.

2007-07-19 Thread Luca Capello
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.1.0-2
Severity: important

Hello!

Complete Xorg.0.log attached.  Basically, either my X session gets
kicked out (i.e., back to the Display Manager) or its freezes.  The
system is still alive, because SSH works and the hardware (wireless
switch and undocking button) generates events in /var/log/syslog.
Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't respond anymore, neither to change
to another console.

This is the first time I see this error and I don't know who's fault,
i.e. the Intel driver, splashy (which IIRC has some problems with
GDM/KDM, but I use XDM) or StumpWM [1] (my window manager, but I don't
think it's the problem here).

Strangely enough, the first time the error happened was during the
creation of a 3.2G data DVD image creation by genisoimage.  But then,
the error occurred other times, independently of genisoimage.  I'd say
that the error happens during an heavy load on xterm, for example it
happens during a dmesg invocation, also.

AFAIK this error has never been reported before in the BTS, if this
was the case, please excuse me.

Doing it with this mail:

1) I preferred to set the severity of this bug to minor (instead of
   the contrary, severity normal, for bug #356883) because the warning

  error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

This because the SecurityPolicy file isn't installed on my machine:
=
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -s xserver-xorg | grep Version
Version: 1:7.0.14

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -s xserver-xorg-core | grep Version

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dlocate SecurityPolicy

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-file search SecurityPolicy | grep etc
xserver-common: etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

xserver-common is replaced by x11-common, which doesn't include the
SecurityPolicy file.

This bug is still present in version 1:7.0.0-4.

As a complete X11 profane, why don't create the serverauth files in
/tmp, so they are deleted at reboot and a normal user doesn't need to
take care of their deletion?

 In 0.8-1, a compatibility rule had been added, but you should really
 migrate to the settings above.

Done, I didn't know that and I cannot find any reference about it in
the Debian changelog.  In the upstream one, it seems that the us_intl
support was added on 2005-09-30, so before the Debian 0.6-2 release.

Anyway, never mind, as I said I changed my settings as you suggested.

 Anyway there is another problem, files have been moved to
 /usr/share/X11/xkb and X server has not been updated yet, see
 /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian.

Indeed the solution proposed into the README.Debian solved my
problem.  Simple suggestion: isn't that better into NEWS.Debian?

Bug#356883: xserver-xorg-core: error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy

2006-03-14 Thread Luca Capello
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1:1.0.1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: experimental

Hello,

as the title suggest, every time I launch `startx` I have that output,
which is normal, as there's no SecurityPolicy file on my box where
X.org could find it:
=
gismo:/home/luca# updatedb
gismo:/home/luca# locate SecurityPolicy
/mnt/hurd/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

gismo:/home/luca# dlocate SecurityPolicy
gismo:/home/luca# update-dlocatedb
gismo:/home/luca#
=

Then I checked the xserver-xorg-core sources:
=
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ apt-get source xserver-xorg-core
[...]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ find ./ -name SecurityPolicy
./xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/SecurityPolicy

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ grep -r SecurityPolicy xorg-server-1.0.1/
[simplified version]
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/Makefile.in:
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/security.c:
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/SecurityPolicy:
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/Makefile.am:
xorg-server-1.0.1/ChangeLog:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$
=

So, it seems that the dpkg-buildpackage doesn't install the
SecurityPolicy file.  I should admit that I don't know anything about
this file, so maybe it's normal it's not installed.

Thx, bye,

I upgraded 5m ago to the latest 1:7.0.3, but the bug is still present,
due to the symlink /usr/share/X11/rgb (without the .txt extension).
In fact, the following solves the problem:

  $ mv /usr/share/X11/rgb /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt

BTW, to be sure it's not a problem of my xorg.conf, I commented out
the RgbPath in it.

Bug#345640: xserver-xorg: New Xorg crashes with kernel 2.6.14, but not with 2.6.12

 [...] what should I do for the DRI bug?

 There is no bug, this is the reason why Option AGPFastWrite
 defaults to off.

Sorry, probably I missunderstood what r300 supports and what it
doesn't.

On XP I installed the Omega drivers and at [1] it seems that
AGPFastWrite is available only for 9600 and Athlon 64 systems (which
I don't have, it's a Intel Pentium M 1.8GHz).  Infact, using the Omega
setting tool, I cannot switch the AGPFastWrite option on.  So I
suppose it's _must_ be off (but I don't know at all about graphic
cards).

From the r300 [2] and the DRI [3] websites, my FireGL T2 / M10 has the
rv350 chipset, which should be *experimentally* supported by the r300
DRI driver.  Am I correct?  Or am I missing something?

The problem is that X.Org 6.9.0 with Benjamin's patch still freezes
after a while even with AGPFastWrite off (when I start quake3, but
not when I start glxgears).

I'd like to debug the problem, as this is the only way I can help
supporting my M10 by the DRI framework (sorry, I'm not a programmer).

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

I hope you're referring to [1], because I'm going to applying it and
locally compiling a custom Debian xserver-xorg-6.9 to test what
happens ;-)

I'll report my tests ASAP.

 the second is a specific problem with the DRI
 r300 driver (this should be bug #345929 [2]).

 Indeed, but this one as well, according to the submitter.

I think you are referring to the submitter of bug #345929.  I mean,
I'm sure I'm hitting both bugs :-(

 [1] I tried with xlibmesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-dri, but no
 differences.  

 These only come into play when running an OpenGL application.

Ok, I know nothing at all about DRI/OpenGL.

 Moreover, I don't know why r300_dri.so is not
 present in xlibmesa-dri, since X.Org 6.9 ships it:
 
 http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ChangesSince68

 The X tree doesn't build the r300 driver by default.

My fault, I thought that the entry Experimental DRI support for
Radeon 9500 and above implied the compilation by default.

2006-01-04 Thread Luca Capello
Hello!

First of all, my machine:
- IBM ThinkPad T42p
- PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc M10 NT [FireGL Mobility T2] rev
   128, Mem @ 0xe000/27, 0xc010/16, I/O @ 0x3000/8 
- 2.6.15-rc7 manually compiled with make-kpkg (but the same results
   with a Debian official 2.6.14-2-686)
- unstable daily upgraded
- Eclipse [1] as Windows Mangaer

   I think I run into this same problem... I upgraded the kernel from
 2.6.12 to 2.6.14 maybe one hour after upgrading the xserver, so I
 was able to have a working xserver for a little bit

In my case, X.org freezes after about 10min and I cannot resolve it
but an hard shutdown (pressing the power button 4s).  And I have no
errors in the logs :-(

   The problem can be solved by either booting with kernel 2.6.12 or 
 by downgrading the package xserver-xorg to 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 (and only 
 that package, without any of the other accompanying libs) 

I downgraded xserver-xorg only to experimental (6.8.99.903.dfsg.1-1)
and the X server seems to nicely work since about 1h.  So the problem
could be in the transition rc3-final.

Hope this helps!, Thanks...

Sure, at least to have a working X11 in the while :-)

BTW, I should say that the same happens if I try 2.6.14-2-686 o
2.6.15-rc7 with the radeon DRM module compiled in: the screen goes
black when xdm starts and the system is completely freezed.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

PS, I didn't provided the whole bunch of reportbug informations, but I
can do if necessary.
